Howdy Y'all,

We're back in the USA!

POE

We came back a few days early, last Wednesday SDQ - JFK, and JFK to BOS.

The flight was a breeze and Keila liked flying. She didn't like taking off, turbulence, or landing...
Her first impression was, you didn't tell me it was going to be THIS COLD  rolling on the floor laughing

Details -

We are bussed over to immigration and went to the visitor line, the inspector opens our packet, hands us back half our info, told us we need to go in person to the Social Security Office to obtain a SS card and then tells us to go over and wait to have our paper processed.

30 minutes goes by and the inspector hands Keila her passport and says - You got 90 days to be married.
I asked him about getting a complete copy of the medical exam, he didn't answer.

So I said, Not gonna answer? Not even a No? LOL so he just said the packet must remain en-tact I can't give you any thing and looked away.

Our flight into Boston was a little delayed. Around 2am we were out of the airport and I had arranged for a Limo to drive us home. She was so impressed by the limo she forgot how effing cold it was.

We arrived home at 4am. We wake up like 10 / 11am.

I went to the city clerk, then the district court and paid a judge $55 to sign a paper to waive the 3-day waiting time to be married, then back to city hall and $25 for marriage license, as we were leaving the lady pulled me aside and offered her Justice of Peace services for $75.

We got married at my house 8:30pm that night, < 24 hours of her being in USA!

She misses her family but is doing well, she hates the cold and has many clothes on, but she is happy and has a positive attitude.

We had a party on Sunday and she got to meet all my family and local friends who will support her during her transition to life in USA.

So far so good, it has been a long time in the making!

I love Keila so much, she is a wonderful person and I am so lucky to have her with me!

I am back DTTUSA family, some one bring me up to speed!

PLEASE!

= 357 Days POE 02/24/2010 Married 02/25/2010

Finally, in my critique of the immigration image of America, it is also important to know that we're not only a nation of immigrants, but we are in some part a nation of emigrants, which often gets neglected.
